THE << TIMES" AND THE JOINT STOCK BANKS. The Mis-leading Journal, which has so Well earned the title of " THE GREAT UN-PRINCIPLED," is at Its usual work again —pursuing its constant system of echoing every momentary cry, in hopes of snatching a little popularity (a practice which entitles it to the designation of the "fillotuing" rather than the " leading . ' Journal), it now is pandering to the absurd prejudices, so adroitly fostered by the Bank of Eng land and the Private Banks, against their formidable rivals the JOINT STOCK Companies—and we have daily articles on the " mania," the " wild banking," the " over-issues," of those Institutions—with frequent hints of the necessity of legislative interference." It would be a derogation from the consistency of the " GREAT UNPRINCIPLED," to give statements,with out gross .. falsification—in consequence, we have the amount of notes of the " AGRICULTURAL" Coin- pany, boldly stated at 800,000/. ; when the official re turns, at the Stamp-office, spew that the circulation never exceeded 421,000/., and at the time of the run did not (by a considerable snm) reach to 400,000/. In the same spirit, the " NORTHERN" Bank is ac cused of " over-issue," " wild banking," " insecurity," &c., because it could not pay all its demands in gold, though the " mis-leading Journal," in the same breath, admits, that this Bank had vast sums in bills of the very best character. Now I would just ask, Could THE BANK OF ENGLAND pay in gold all its notes, if it could not obtain sovereigns . fOr its bills of the highest character ? It is well known that it could not so pay one . fourth of them ! Yet we hear nothing of " wild banking," " over issue," " legislative -inter ference," &c., with regard to that Establishment, a mere Joint Stock Bank after all, and I will venture to add, nearly the worst conducted one in the Empire. Nothing can better prove this, than the insane efforts made by its Directors to destroy the other Joint Stock Banks, or oblige them to issue Bank of England notes —thus undermining their best BREAKWATERS, and turning on themselves the whole amount of the pressure in every case of panic—a pressure which the Institu tions they absurdly make war on, would divide and render insignificant ! This office the Joint Stock Banks are eminently calculated to discharge—as is evidenced, by the con duct of the Shareholders of the 44 AGRICULTURAL," who have met in many towns, and offered to take the notes in their individual capacities —some, as land lords, announcing, that their tenants who pay rent in gold, will thereby incur their displeasure. Now to the question of " over-issue." We see by the returns that the whole increase in Joint Stock cir culation within the year is a million and a half, of which a large proportion is really private Banking business, many private banks having merged in Joint Stock Establishments ; but suppose it all " Joint Stock" circulation,, the private Bank paper has diminished about half a million—the Bank of England remains nearly stationary—and thus we have an increase of about a million, to meet an addition to our commercial transactions of probably above twenty millions ; for all parties are agreed, that just prior to the panic, the amount of trade had enormously increased, and that the business done was sound. (Vide all the Papers of July, August and September.) So much for " OVER-ISSUE"—the fact is the issue was not sufficiently large. There is much outcry about " over-trading" by Banks. Why have we no such fear about " over trading" in Corn, Iron, Wine, Cloth, or Cotton ? In all these some persons speculate rashly—but we trust to the prudence of the general mass of traders, and rejoice to see a great increase in the transactions of these dealers ; but we cannot trust the prudence of our dealers in money—and the moment they exhibit symp toms of activity, we rush upon them, call for payment, AND MAKE THE ADVERSITY WE DREAD. The bug-bear of " OVER-ISSUE" is—moonshine! Bankers don't part with their notes more loosely than Cotton Merchants with their calicoes—with each, property is trusted to others—with each, so trusted in general with sagacity and caution. The REAL cause ,of panics is not the "over-issue" of paper, (which never to any extent worth notice has occurred, and never can, while human nature remains the same) ; but the absurd, insane fancy for a "metallic currency," which is preposterously assumed to be a a standard, and 7/fluctuating circulation, * the result is, that whenever business rapidly increases, the gold proves too little for the enhanced number and amount of transactions —a struggle commences for it—fool A. rushes to obtain it from his banker—blockhead B. follows his wise example—and a "panic" ensues_ business is checked—distress occasioned, solvent houses ruined—prices lowered—banks closed, &c. &c. The present crisis has arisen in this way—oh e 'Writer prognosticated it six months since)---aided by the folly of brother Jonatha n—who, unwilling that brother 'John should be the only ass, has come into the field to contend for the wr eath of absurdit y , and have his " metallic currency" too So long as this folly prevails, panics will periodically return—ALWAYS following, as AN INEVITAB LE C ONSEQU ENCE, a season of prosperity—bow should it be otherwise ?--.There is a certain qua ntit y o f gold in circulation, adequate to a certain amount of business— the latter amount is g reatly increased —the amount of gold cannot be—and the inequality is immediately felt in the manner already pointed out--PANICS ARE THEREFORE THE NATURAL AND INVARIABLE RESULTS OF A GOLD CIRCULATION—the me tallic medium cannot be made to coincide with the ex tent of trade—a paper medium always can. More on this subject hereafter —As to the outcry against 44 Joint Stock" Banks , it is the result of in terest, envy and folly. Let the " GREAT UNPRIN CIPLED," point out ONE man who has lost a shilling, by holding the note of one of these institutions : the mis-leading Journal CANNOT DO IT! NOT A SHAREHOLDER IN A JOINT STOCK BANK. • • Being actually the most fluctuating. , - We are autnonsed to contradict the report alluded to in our paper of last Thursday respecting the illness of Fortescue. His Lordship, so far from being unwell, is, on the contrary, in excellent health. —Morning Chronicle. THE WALPOLE Cost ESPONDENCE.-The an nouncement by Mr. Colburn of a cheap and concise edition of the celebrated " Letters of Horace Walpole to George Montagu and other distinguished persons," as a companion set t o those lately published, addressed to Horace Mann, must prove a source of high gratification to the public. These additional letters complete the lively and amusing view of the times in which he lived. Walpole was, indeed, th e very Prince of gossips. His descriptions of Court revels and Court beauties are in the highest style of perfection. He delights no less in the squabbles of politicians than in • th e puns of George Selwyn—enjoys to madness the strife of 1 0 0 with half-a-dozen bitter old woman of quality—revels .• in a world of chests and china—and, indeed, lets us loose at onc e amongst all the frippery and folly of the last century With an ease and courtesy equally amusing and delightful. The Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Committee uli o have met several days to investigate the recent trans actions at Graham's Club, which has so much occupied Public a ttention, will make their own report is the course of th e week. One of the most distinguished persons of the ,l'ealm has expressed himself in a manner highly favourable , to the criminated party.—Post. On Thursday afternoon, Lincoln's-inn-fields and its 'lntnediate neighbourhood were considerably alarmed in o.onsequence of a large dog, supposed to be in a rabid state, .tonning about in a most frightful manner, foaming at the 41 Outh, and snapping fiercely at every person who happened .to be in his way. At length the animal ran into Bear ' Yard, and was there eventually killed with a hatchet by a l':°tlng man, a carpenter, who was passing at the time. It was then observed that the poor dog bad been shamefully tortured by some diaboli ca l wretch, who had actually driven a la rge na il into the animal's lower jaw ! The dreadful Pain arising front the exercise of this horrible cruelty doubt "s produced madness. A paragraph having appeared in the papers, relating g that one of the park keepers and two gentlemen 104 Fbot a bird of the imber-di%er species upon the Serpentine lta ver, we are authorised to state, that in consequence of an 't'Plication made by the Secretary of the St. James's Orni tboloelical Society to Mr. Stephenson, the Superintendent 41. 1 - iyde Park, that gentleman has represented the matter t o -his Roal Highness the Ran ge r, and his Royal highne ss has directed that strict orders be given to p ; re park-keepers to protect all aquatic birds which may , placed on the Serpentine, the same bein g pl ace d ' '" e ro by the St. James's O r nithological Society for the 4111usement and advantage of the t.)Vit THEATRES. ADELPHL A new piece, called Paulina ; or, The Passage of the Beresina, was last night produced at this theatre. The scene opens in the neighbourhood of Moscow, when Napo leon occupies the Kremlin. Pauline is the daughter of a Russian Nobleman, who has been condemned by a Court martial to be shot for having devastated his country after the patriot example of Count llostophskin. She has won the heart, of S av i g ny, Napoleon's favourite Aide-de-C.imp, to whom the duty falls of seeing her father executed. The liberality of Savigny in allowing the prisoner's friends to see him is the cause of his escape, and the aide-de,-Camp is condemned to take his place. 13onaparte signs the death warrant of his favourite with reluctance. Pauline breaks through his guards, throws herself at his feet, and, after a bard struggle, wins the pardon of her lover. The Emperor accompanies his boon with the condition that the pair marry extempore. While this ceremony takes place in his presence, the fire of Moscow occurs, and, burning with all the rapidity which dramatic effect requires, brings the walls and roof of the palace tumblingiabout the ears of his Majesty and all his marshals. This is precisely the scene wherein the pyrotechnic artists of the Adclphi revel, and with it accor dingly act the first ends. Act the second brings us to Paris in 1816. All our dramatis persome are there except the Empercr, who is at St. Helena. The Beresina had been crossed in the mean time, and poor Pauline, fancying at the catastrophe of that river and Bridge of Groans, that Savigny had been lost in an effort to save her, had fallen mad, and mad she remains, of which she gives unequivocal proof, in always taking the Colonel for a ghost. To save her from this melancholy condition, Larrez, the celebrated surgeon of the grand armies, recommends that advantage should be taken of a severe winter at Paris, to represent the passage of the Beresina on the Seine, and there work upon Pauline's mind, that she may think the real scene is again before her, while Savigny is to be saved beyond all doubt. The stratagem succeeds, as it properly should, and the fair Russian again rejoices in the possession of her senses and her Colonel. While all this is going on, Pitou, a full pri vate of the French army, who is as queer a genius as Buck stone can make him, runs a fruitless chase after Nannette, the maid of Pauline, and John Reeve figures as a pOrtlyCom missary-General, and subsequent Marquis under Louis dix- Wires. Both intrude upon every scene of tender ness, or sublimity, and, of course, " lead us the other way, the other way." The whole affair is a mixture of melo drama, farce, and spectacle, upon which may be ventured the profound remark, that " nothing is but what is not." Gomersal's Napoleon is well known. Mrs. Yates is ex ceedingly touching in the part of Pauline. Reeve with his buffooneries preserves us from the natural effects of such tender appeals. Mrs. Stirling is very lively and pleasing in the part of Nannette. QUEEN'S THEATRE. Last night Mr. Whitehead's domestic drama, The Ca valier, was produced at this theatre, with complete suc cess. The scene refers to a period immediately after the Restoration. Mr. Hargrave (the Cavalier), a gallant soldier, who had conspicuously distinguished himself in the Royal cause, has lost all his possessions in sup port of it, and finds himself, with a young and lovely wife and an infant family, left in a state of humble dependence upon the bounty of his brother-in-law (Mr. Maynard), who affords them a subsistence and a home. While thus painfully circumstanced, he learns that Lord Moreton, a Court favourite of paramount influence, is disposed to employ his good offices in his behalf, with the view of getting him restored to his hereditary honours and estates. His " Noble friend," however, turns out to be a consummate villain. The chief inciting motive to his proffered interposition is, the criminal attachment he has formed for Mrs. Hargrave, while through his worthless creature Beauchamp he dares to tempt the honour of her husband by all sorts of promises. The latter rejects his base offers with indignation. Meanwhile his jealousy is excited to frenzy ; and though his wife is a perfect model of devoted fidelity, yet still, with some few occasional inter missions, he continues a prey to the "green-eyed monster" down to the moment when her innocence is triumphantly proved before the world. Proceeding to Court with a letter which she has to present from her husband, she is on her way carried off by some of the retainers of Moreton, and confined in a house of which Madame de Grave has the charge. Here her reprobate persecutor meets his deserved doom. Her honour is saved by her noble determination to preserve it ; she plunges a knife to his heart; yet, such is his hardihood in profligacy, that with his dying breath he does not hesitate to pronounce her guilty, by stating that she had encouraged his overtures, and received presents of jewels from him. Being taken up for the murder, she is capitally convicted, but Madame de Grave, the principal witness against her, bitterly stung with feelings of remorse, comes forward and solemnly de clares, before the authorities, that all she had sworn at the trial was false. In consequence of this confession a re spite arrives, and the Royal pardon is promised just at the moment when the distracted husband expects to see his innocent wife led out to execution ; he himself resolving in the meantime to fall by his sword ere he witnesses suc a catastrophe. Immediately after the respite is announced the curtain falls, and, we think, too abruptly. This abrupt. ness, however, is almost the sole defect of which we could complain. The drama throughout is admirably written, and in some parts it rises to superior excellence. The principal c haracters were performed with corresponding effect, Mr. Elton, as the Cavalier, and Miss Clifford, as Mrs. Hargrave, acquitting themselves in a manner which left nothing . to be desired. When the curtain fell the ap plause was uninterrupted by a single note of dissent ; an d Mr. Elton and Miss Clifford, being loudly called for, re ceived the warm greetings of the audience. SURREY. Mr. Booth, after an interval of ten years, if we may credit the play-bills, made his re-appearance in this house last night in the arduous character of Richard 111. His reception by a crowded audience was extremely favourable, and during the performance be was repeatedly and loudly cheered by the pit and gallery. Some of his bursts were given with fine effect ; but as a whole, his performance fell short of our expectations. Mr. Booth manifestly mis conceives the character of the Duke of Gloucester, or he greatly fails in communicating his impression of it to the au dience. The malignant irony, which scarcely conceals the fiendish chuckle of the tyrant as he combats every fresh obstacle in the path of his ambition, was given by Mr. Booth with all the measured stateliness of cold invective. Towards the close, he overdid the part, particularly in the last scene, where he encounters Rich mond. After the curtain fell, he was loudly called for, and warmly applauded. The announcement of his appearance to-night, in the character of Sir Edward Mortimer, in the Iron Chest, was received with cheers. The part of the Duke of Buckingham was well sustained by Mr. Maitland. Miss Grant as Lady Anne, and Miss Watson as the Queen, were loudly applauded. The Swabian Mercury gives the following, dated Gratz, 21st :—" The Duchess de Berry is going. to Goritz, to be present at the opening of the will of Charles X. Immediately after the King's death, the Duke de Blacas notified to all the Courts with whom he was allied, that the will could not be opened but in the presence of all the mem bers of his illustrious family. It is already asserted that the Duke de Bordeaux is the universal legatee." This journal also states from Vienna, that at the election of a Prince Archbishop at 011mutz, on the 20th, the choice fell upon the Baron of Sommeura, Dean of that Cathedral, who is highly esteemed for his benevolence. Mary Morgan, a servant-girl, recently destroyed herself here by arsenic. A verdict of felo de se having been found, the deceased was consequently interred without funeral rites, in St. John's burial-ground, at midnight, ac cording to the provision of the Act of Parliament.—Here- Ard Times. An Association for the abolition of Church Rates, has been formed at Abergavenny. A chimney sweep last week discovered 30 sovereigns in the chimney of a beer shop at Cowes, deposited there by some person at present unknown. This week four tallow-chandlers in South Shields have been fined in mitigated penalties for having boeght tallow, taken from the wreck of the barque Dave, of this port, which vessel got ashore in entering Shields harbour, as noticed in our paper of last week.—Sheffi e ld Observer. Last night, on the conclusion of the performances at Drury-lane Theatre, a young man, respectably attired, threw himself from the front of the two shilling gallery into and lifted the pit. The people were going out a t the time, an d, al though he fell close to several persons , he injured no one b ut himself, Several individuals ran to his assistance , him up, but he was unable to speak for some tune, and his limbs appeared to have been broken by the fall. An alarm was raised, and the servants of the theatre brought a shut ter, on which he was placed, am' they removed Mm in an apparently dying state to one of the Westminster Hospi tals. He said his name was James MiCarthY, aocl that he secc scat of lived at N o . 5, Dean -street, Soho. fie had been sitting on the md the gallery during the whole evening, tjuietly enjoying th e perforwicpces ► and, about a minute affor the egrtain fell, stood upon the front pat, and threw him self over, . a 44 fill nearly in the middle of the pit. He ap peared to bo perfectly pc,bvr.

The 12th and ISth regiments of the line, and the lsth of light infantry, are spoken of as intended ter this service. 3.--The iToni(eru• of this nviroing give; the fol lowing explanation of the motives which nave caused the names of the crew of the Lilloise to be struck ofr the lists : " The Lilloise gun-brig sailed from Rochefort on the 31st of May, 1833, for the coast of Iceland ; and on the 4th of August following it had touched at Vapnafiord. Since that time no further news has been received of it. More than three years have elapsed since the departure of the Lilloise, without its having been possible to obtain any certain in formation respecting the fate of the persons on board, no pains have been spared to procure information, and the Government has caused a notice to be published in all the French and foreign journals, that a reward of a hundred thousand francs would be give❑ to any mariners, whether French or foreigners, who should brim.; back to their own country the whole or part of the officers and crew of the Lilloise, &c. Three vessels have been successively sent in search of the Lilloise in the Northern Seas, unfortunately without obtaining any success. In this lamentable state of things, it was necessary to comply with some formali ties ; but it must not hence be inferred that all hope is lost."—Journal die Commerce, Dec. 3. (From the French papers of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.) We have received the following note from the Spanish Legation "PARIS, DEC. I.—The undersigned, Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, accredited by her Ma jesty the Queen of Spain at the Court of his Majesty the King of the French, informs the holders of Stock of the Spanish Foreign Debt, that, having been authorized by his Government to manage the exchange of the coupons of the dividend due on the Ist of November last for the Treasury bonds, referred to in the notice published on the 10th of the said mouth, the want of time to complete the operations required for that purpose prevents his being able to effect that exchange on the present day, to the great regret of the undersigned. " Count CAMPUZANO de RECHEN." —/ifonilcur. The Moniteur publishes a circular letter, addressed by M. Martin (du Nord) to several commercial Chambers, having for its object to call the attention of our merchants to several markets in the Levant, of the existence of which they appear not to be aware. The nations of the East are beginning to have a taste for European habits ; they are extremely partial to our clothes, furniture, and even our fashions. " Here," states the circular, " Ages, who, but a few months hence, ate with their fingers and sat on the ground, now make use of tables, chairs, spoons and forks, and furnish their apartments with desks, consoles, chests of drawers, and lamps." In a short time the customs of Europe will have been adopted in the East."—Courrier Francais. The Court mourning has become a serious affair, since the Minister of Austria, with a more puerile than dange rous affectation, has presented himself to the Ministers and at the Tuileries in a State mourning dress. This attitude of diplomacy in tears before the Royalty of July had greatly afflicted the friends of the Tuileries. M. Thiers and Marshal Gerard expressed their indignation at such conduct, but 'were unable to convince a high personage of the necessity of taking satisfaction for so unbecoming a proceeding. His Majesty receded ten steps when the ex- President of the Council, with the patriotic accent of the days of 1880, said to him, " Sire, if I had the honour of being the Minister of your Majesty, and that the Ambas sador of a foreign Power came to my house in mourning for Charles X., I would order the servant, in his hearing, to say that I was not at home."—Le Siecle. A scene of scandal lately occurred at Court. The handsome Duchess of Valangay (Mademoiselle de Mont morency) made her appearance at the Tuileries dressed in the deepest mourning. The astonishment was general, and every one considered it an epigram of Prince de Tal leyrand, who must certainly have been consulted on the subject by the Duchess, his niece.—Le Sleek. For some time back the bands of the regiments bad ceased to play the " Marseillaise," and even the much less revolutionary air of the " Parisienne," while the troops were filing before the King or the Princes. It was important to substitute others in their stead. M. Bernard has accord ingly addressed a circular letter to ail the colonels of regi ments, inviting them to instruct the directors of the bands to put immediately in rehearsal two marches, composed by order, and which are only to be performed in the presence of the King or the Royal family.—Le Siede. The Portuguese Government has communicated to the Spanish Ministry an energetic protest it h as en t ere d against the conduct of the British. Cabi n et in the late coun ter-revolutionary attempt in Lisbon. lt would appear from this document that the Cabinet of Donna Maria has written to London and Brussels to demand the recall of Lord Howard de Walden and M. Van de Weyer, and that M. de Moncorvo, the Portuguese envoy in London, has been or dered back to Lisbon. This last fact is confirmed by our private correspondence from London.—Messager. The Annoricain of Brest says—" The squadron of ob servation commanded by Admiral Hugon, is expected very shortly at Brest. It appears that the Government had sent orders that be should have one ship at Lisbon, and cruise, with the rest, at the mouth of the Tagus. As such a cruise is not without danger, at this season of the year, Admiral Rosamel has since sent orders for all the ships to return to Brest." We learn by a letter from Toulon that 800 men of each of the 12th and 18th Regiments of the Line, and the 15th Light Infantry, are ordered for immediate embarkation for Africa. The two first will be conveyed to Algiers from Toulon in the Trident, .I)thigcnie,llerminie, and Egerie-- and the 15th are to take their departure from Port Vendres for Bona in the Suffi•en,Durance, and Fortune. The Journal de Paris addresses to the Ministry the fol lowing questions, which may be considered as the programme of the different points on which the partisans of the Mini nistration of the 22d February, headed by M. Thiers, in tend to attack the Guizot-Mole Cabinet. " We are invited to state facts and specify our griev ances ; here arc some. Is it not a fact, that since the adop tion of the negative policy of the Gth of September, Car lism has been triumphant in Spain, and is beginning to raise its head in France? Is it not a fact, that the existence of the quadruple alliance is seriously menaced ? Is it not a fact, that the Arabs have assailed us in the very heart of our African possessions ? Is it not a fact, likewise, that ' when the situation of our affairs looked most grave, when our foreign policy was subverted, and when the accession of the new Ministry to power left the constitutional support of the Legislature quite uncertain, the convocation of the Chambers was postponed until the very latest period fixed by the Constitution ? Behold what we daily complain off." Accounts from Lyons state that large orders for silks have been received from America, and that the manufactories are in a more satisfactory state. Madame Beaune has been liberated from her confine ment, and the Royal Court of Amiens hus decided that there are no grounds for prosecuting her, or any of the other persons accused of having favoured the escape of the prisoners from Doullens. In the night of the 2:2d ult. six brigands in disguise, led by a man of about 35 years of age, entered the Chateau de Constance, a short distance from Coux, in the Dordogne, and endeavoured to force money from M. Lamothe, the proprietor, and his sister, an elderly lady, by threats and violence. One of the servants, however, got out and called aloud for assistance. This alarmed the robbers, and they made off without any booty. The next day M. Lamothe went to the Mayor of Coux, to lay an information before him. While ho was at the Mayory a man came in to ob tain a passport, whom M. Lamothe immediately recog nized as the leader of the band that had assailed him and his family on the preceding night. M. Lamothe denounced him,.and he was taken into custody. He proved to be a tailor of Coux, The rest of the gang have since been cap tured. CoarsTANcE, Nov. 29.—Prince Louis Bonaparte has addressed from Port Louis, under date the 17th inst., and through the medium of the Government, a second letter to his mother, Queen Hortense, in which be announces to her that he was to be taken to New York ; that he would proceed thence to visit the different states of the Union ; and that when he had acquired a sufficient knowledge of the country, he would fix on a residence. His intention, he says, is to become a farmer ; he will ask his uncle Joseph to sell him a few acres of land, and if he finds that his mother may then, without danger to her health, come and share his solitude, he will be the first to invite her to under take the journey. He begs her to send him his fowling pieces (l) and books, and adds, that he was informed the 6,000 f. he had on arriving in Strasburg and his other effects would be returned to him, T h e French Journals have announced that the Prince had written to King Louis Philippe to recommend his companions in misfortune to his clemency.

MADRID, Nov. 25.—We have had no news from Anda lusia for several days, and nothing is known either of Go mez or the three Generals that are pursuing him, beyond the contents of a letter which Narvaez sent by express, dated Berlanga, the 16th. He had arrived at that place by forced marches of from 25 to 35 miles a day, a labour and endurance, perhaps, impossible for any other troops than Spanish ; and of Spaniards only such gallant veterans as Narvaez carries with him. He has unfortunately not met with the cavalry of Alaix, which he 'was empowered to take, so that his brigade, for it can scarcely be called a di vision, is deficient in that arm so efficient against a numerous host. This is much to be lamented, for if he comes up with Gomez, and attacks him, as he certainly will if he gets within sight of him, the blow can never be an efficient one. The cavalry Narvaez has does not amount to above 250 men, not more than is necessary to perform his scout in;; service ; and which never could form a body of sufficient force to produce an impression on 11,000 or 12,000 men, 1,200 of whom are cavalry. Narvaez, on the day of the (late of his letter, proceeded to Guadalcanal : he had heard that on the 13th, that is three days previous to the time of his writing, Gomez was at Ecij a; Rib en , with Rodil's division of th Guard, at Cordova ; and Alaix at Fuente Ovejuna. This position of the troops of three different corps, each in pursuit of one almost in the centre of them, would, in any other country, imply a decisive ac tion within a few days. It is now, however, eleven days since, and we are not aware in Madrid that anything has taken place. It is true that it is most difficult to transmit intelligence, of whatever nature : the communication with Andalusia has been stopped for the last week. Small fac tions abound in La Mancha, and now, since•Rodirs exploits, they exist on the Estremadura road. And where factions are not, robbers abound. On the Badajoz road, the other day, the diligence was robbed by a party of 16 scoundrels. ' General Doyle and his nephew, Captain Doyle, were pas sengers. Every thing was taken from them, and they were led into a forest blindfolded, but not beaten, nor yet shot, as has been reported. _ On the other road, by La Mancha, Cabrera has been wandering about with some five or six hundred vagabonds on horseback, ever since he parted with Gomez near Truxillo, about the beginning of this month. He is joined and escorted by all the faccioncillos through whose country he passes, and, of course, partly contributes to increase their strength and keep up their courage. This party hav ing been opposed, and driven oway from Quintanar de la Orden, a town on the road to Valencia, on the 20th inst., have had the impudence to come within a few leagues of Madrid. The whole of the garrison has left the capital-- during the last three days we have been left without a sol dier of the line, and yet this capital of a country devoured by civil war is as quiet as the quietest village in Yorkshire. • And yet we have had our arrests and captures, our cross examinations and enlargements ; all those persons, save one, whom I mentioned in my last as having been taken to prison, have been liberated, and all, save one, have been re captured. This is very bungling work, but has produced no sensation here, preying that this is the country easiest to be governed in the world : but for the same reason it is the country ravaged and run through and through with im punity. There is much mortification in this limb of the Peninsula, and, as such, it will bear much cutting and slash ing without apparent pain. The ready remedy is amputa tion ; but this is not an easy geographical operation. The Cortes are in the best disposition, but while there is no money in the Treasury, while there is little communica tion with the provinces, and that little liable to be inter cepted, and while there are half a dozen armies wandering about without any order from the Minister of War, if there was one, which there is not, what can you expect? The art of governing is not known by the Liberals. In Spain the -Carlists have known how to accommodate themselves to their own system of corruption, and they really can and do govern according to their plan. But the emigres do not work in the material ; they give excellent orders, but they are like Munchausen's frosty blow in the trumpet, heard more feebly at the time than a month afterwards. There is a vast complaint here, that in this revolution no man has arisen. The fact - is, that on our side there h&s been no revolution. It has required the same interest, the same intrigue, the same forms, and even more, to get a grade in the army, or to rise into any notice any way, that it did before. The change has been in the m e n, and also in the public voice of t 4 lO Government. The men employed have been all emigres, to the utter disgust of all Spain. The public wnce of the Government has been on the whole enlightened ; but it has fallen upon the country like oil upon a river—shining to the eye, floating down the stream, but of no earthly use. The only men that have proved of any value are the men who were brought up under the Government of Ferdinand, but who, i 3.!ing voung, and reading, or mixing with the rest Of. Europe, had grown out of mere Spanish practices and. prejudices ; as for the army, its follies and failures car: never be under stood until the old system of promotion is well known ; a good deal of it may be s , ..‘.en in a book lately published in London, called " Madrid ie. 183.5," by a Colonel (an Eng lishman) in the Spanis' a army ; but, in one word, army service was a mere etnecurc---ihorough place-hunting ; and in ease of any promotion, it was by intrigues in the War office (as it cont i n ues to b e ) b y a l arge net-wor k of patrons, mistressess, relatives, comrades, fellowships, and clerks, such as cannot be understood in England, or per haps in any other country of Europe. Whereas these stu pid, selfish, cowardly Marloncs, alias tax or pay-grinders, continue in the command of what is, without doubt or com parison, the finest peasantry of the world.--Morning Paper. (From the Madrid Papers received to the 26th — ult.) In the sitting of the Cortes on the 22d of November the Chamber took into consideration the report of the Com mittee on Senor Nervares' proposition, that the War Mi nister should be required to furnish the Chamber every week with an account of the military operations. The Com mittee reported, that as the Government had agreed to communicate to the Chamber all the despatches received from the army, the proposition was unnecessary. The Cortes approved of the Report. of the Committee. Senor Caballero desired to have some information from the Go vernment respecting the movements of the rebels in La Mancha. It was not known, he said, at what distance they from the capital, and whether they were under the com mand of Cabrera or Pacillos. The War Minister said that the Government was in the same state of uncertainty on that point.—(Murmurs in the public tribunes.) The only official despatch which had reached the Government, came from the director of the post at Tarancon, who announced that the rebels had attacked Quintana ; but that, having been repulsed, they bad taken the road to Tarancon. The Government had adopted measures to obtain positive infor mation. In the Sitting of the 23(1 of November a proposition was made to call upon the Government to submit to the Cortes the budget for 1837. The discussion of the proposition was postponed. Senor Cardero, who was charged with a commission of the highest importance, has returned to the capital. While on his way back to Madrid, at the beginning e 1 . is o..as. wet',, • , after having b een a t General Rodil's head ceived at Na,valmoral fresh instruntinos from '..) he re ,ie Govern nlqnt ‘",reeting him to proceo to a, Andal usibut, as Ge neral Ruda had snmandered the command to G e neral Ribero, it heame unneces sary f or him to comply with these instructions. We are informed by this brave sol dier that many opportunities had presented themselves for defeating the I'ellol%. and that now the most fortu nate results may he expected from the enthusiasm and discipline of our soldiers, which are the more remarkable when contrasted with the disorderly manner in which the enemy marches.—Eco of the 2:3d of November. The province of La Mancha, which a y short . time ago was only i n f este d b one rebel hand, is now by four, which spread terror wherever t uevastated !", commanded b the bandit cis'' a, and , ey go. The first, from 300 t o 400 men n! , strong io infaqtrir bpd cavalry, occupi es th e neighbour- hood of Calatrava. The second, under the command of Morago, consisting of 140 horsemen, ravages the country from Santa Elena to Santa Cruz de Muclela. Palinos, with 300 infantry and cavalry, occupies Sierra de Fur•nte el Fresno, and Fernan Caballero y Calabazas, as far as El Corral de Calatrava ; and the chieftain Tercero occupies the neighbourhood of Benojas. •So that these four rebel bands In La Mancha, by extending their ravages to the frontiers of Andalusia, intercept the communications, inter rupt the regular course of commercial relations, and thereby inflict the greatest injury on the country.— Eeu of the 28d of November. BADAJOS, Nov. 17.—Letters from Sirucla of the date of the 9th state, that on the 7th Cabrera and El Scr.. rador passed by that place with about 200 foot soldiers and as many horse soldiers, worn out and lame from fatigue. They spoke very ill of Gomez, from whom they said they had separated in consequence of a dispute, , -,... Espanol of the 23d of November. ilAnAJos, Nov. 19..=—1t is reported, and in h way which has obtained for the rumour some or,dit, that Narvaez has completely routed Gomez near Osuna and Ecija, and that the rebels have in consenuence repassed the Guadalquivir, and gone to the monastery of El Tar don. If this story is true, the ravels must have lost all their booty, for it would not have been easy for them to carry it to that monastery, which is situated in the wild est part of the Sierra Morena. God g rant that thi s telligence may be c on fi rm ed.—Espanolof November 23. MERIDA, Nov. 19.—Gomez is still in Andalusia. The troops of Rodil, in passing through this province, com mitted th,c greatest excesses, and were in a state of the greatest insubordination. The Madrid Gazette of the 24th of November contains a Royal Order, dated Nov. 20, establishing several regula tions with regard to the mode of collecting the " forced loan." The public functionaries charged with its collection are instructed not to admit of any excuse for the non-pay ment of the contributions, and to oppose any resistance that may be offered to the collection of the debt. 100,000,000 of reals are to be furnished in the course of the month, and the money will be received by the provincial intendants. The dispersion of the rebel bands, which was expected to follow the c a pt ure o f Cantavieja, has not taken pl ace . Several bands still traverse the country in the neighbourhood of Mosqueruela and Mingaloo, and the moveable National Guards are afraid to leave their quarters in the castle of Villamacejo. Toqueruelas with 800 men occupies Ruhiclos, where he is allowed to remain quietly enough. A. Carlist conspiracy is said to have been discovered at Valencia. Or ders have been sent to the division of Grases to protect the Ribera, in consequence of 20 soldiers of the cavalry of the National Guard, having been surprised by Cabrer a in Albacete. Letters From Castellon de la Plana, dated Nov. 14, state that the rebel band of Tallada has joUled that of Pomadell, who was on he 11th at Calig, with 2,300 men, menacing Benicarlo. Ile refrained from attacking the city, because he knew he would have met wits► an obstinate resistance.-- Espanol of the 25th. TURKEY: CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 9..---TllO ViTC9I British mer chant vessel, , bound for the coast of Circassia, has arrived here from London. This vessel will profit by the present southerly wind, to proceed on to its destination. It is highly probable that the Mischief will sail in its company, Cap tain Lyons being desirous of revisiting that interesting country. This first attempt to re-establish commercial re lations with the extensive and populous tract of country be tween the 'Euxine and the Caspian has excited the most lively satisfaction among the merchants, and many among the 'English are already preparing to venture once more on this formerly most lucrative field of speculation. They are the more disposed to do so now that they have acquired the conviction that fears which hitherto prevented them from carrying on trade with Abasia and Circassia have been but Russian scarecrows. The right English subjects always possessed of trading with the inhabitants of those countries has continued unimpaired ; and should any doubts be enter tained as to its validity under existing circumstances, the assurances riven by the P res id en t o f our B oard of Trade, as well as by Lord Ponsonby, in answer to the queries addressed to them by Mr. Bell before undertakin g this enterprise, must completely remove them. As to the blockade of the eastern shores of the Black Sea, the Cabinet of St. Peters burgh has formally declare',', it not to exist. 'With regard to the right Russia is assuming of preventing all foreign vessels from frequenting the coasts of Circassia, because by so doing they infelne.e both her sanat or y an d custom reg-r,la tions, it is one so absurd and ridiculous that it is impossible Russia should, upon its being called into question, 'seriously attempt to maintain it. Meheniet Ray Pasha, Governor of Tripoli, arrived here last week as prisoner on board a frigate. The charge brought against him by the Capitan Pasha was no less a one than that of his having used every means in his power to prevent the submission of the insurgent's in the Regen cy . The proofs of his innocence were so satisfactory, that the Divan unanimously acquitted him. The Sultan conferred upon him fresh honours, and has ordered him to return im mediately to Tripoli. The Capitan Pasha's disgrace is looked upon as inevitable. The Egyptian cutter sailed yesterday for Alexandria with the Porte's answer to Mehemet Ali's l'ate application. The corvette on board of which the BeyKkdjee Effendi is to embark is getting ready with great activity. Lord Ponsonby has, it i s said, acquai - dted the Cabinet with his intention of returning to Er,gland. His Lord ship, according to all accounts, prwoses leaving Constan tinople in January next. Mr. D, - Urquhart would in that case act ad inttrim as his sur,c!ssor. Ever since his ar rival this gentleman has kept, aloof from affairs, and spent the greater part of the su:nmer at a Turkish village in Asia, Mal Tepeh, devi,ting his attention to the study of the Turkish languagel and cultivating the acquaintance of the natives. Saturday *Rill be the birthday of the King of Bel gium, who was born in the year 1790, and will he observed with mti.ch ceremony by his royal relatives, the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, at Claremont. The state-room in the Duke of Sutherland's man sion in St. James's Park will be, when finished, one of the most magnificent in the kingdom ; the decorations are of the most splendid description. The paintings are chiefly by Stanfield, who is to superintend that department, and the whole of the embellishments will harmonize so as to give the whole the finest effect possible. The Duke of Newcastle has been entertaining a party at Clumber Hall, Nottinghamshire. Garblett, a .journeyman bricklayer, of Grunley, was killed last week-in a pugilistic contest,--Worcester H e r a ld. On Saturday week, Thomas Gill, a groom in the service of Sir Gray Skipwith, Lett, of Newbold Revel, was proceeding from the park into the back yard of the mansion, where the large door was open, when a buck, unobserved, came into the yard, and suddenly jumped over some rails near the door, and with his head and antlers struck Gill just as he was passing ; both fell, when one of the servants, seeing the occurrence, immediately assisted Gill up, who was bleeding profusely at the left eye and mouth. On ex amination, it appeared the buck's antlers had been forced above the eye-ball into the brain. Medical assistance was immediately procured, but he died.-11Tarwick Advertiser, On Wednesday evening Mr. Jeffries, formerly an actor at Covent-garden Theatre, under the management of Messrs. Harris and Kemble, but latterly a private box keeper, at Drury-lane Theatre ; and who has occasionally shown strong symptoms of mental derangement, went to the theatre as usual, but returned soon after, evidently under much excitement, and stabbed himself six times in his right side, with a large carving -knife. He has the best medical aid, but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. Last evening an inquest was held at Westminfeer Hospital, before Mr. H iggs , C oroner, upon the body of Caroline Jones. Considerable interest bad been excited as to the r esult of the inquiry in the neighbourhood of the Hospital, and in Ch e l sea (where the deceased resided), in prevalent rumour t h at s h e was po i soned b co y ns s e o q m u e en o c f e th of a e bacon which became impregnated with ar senic at Fenning's Wharf, on the occasion of the late fire at London-bridge. After hearing the evidence, the Jury returned an unanimous verdict, " That the deceased came by her death from eating unwholesome bacon, but that no blame was attached to the venders." .
